Mr. Speaker, I have Return to Written Question 34-16(2) asked by Mr. Glen Abernethy on Thursday, June 19, 2008, requesting a comprehensive list of all positions being deleted as a result of the 2008–2009 budget and a listing of new positions that were approved and created.
Later today, at the appropriate time, I will table two comprehensive lists. The first list includes the positions that are being deleted as a result of the 2008–2009 budget and contains: the status of the positions in August 2008, whether or not the positions were vacant on June 16, 2008. The second list, prepared by the Financial Management Board Secretariat, consists of new positions created and approved with the passing of the 2008–2009 budget.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
